So a guy gets the school to send out an e mail last week suggesting a family bike ride around Otley yesterday. 3pm meet in the market square.
Now heres the thing, i am guessing about 80 people turned out, lots of young (6-9) children. It was an awesome response given 3 days notice. We had a bimble around otley and after 45 minutes ended up at Riverside Park. Mixture of quiet and busyish roads. Unfailingly polite car drivers, and wonderous looks from pedestrians. It was a kind of family CM if you like, and best of all it showed our kids that there is a place on the road for them with their bikes, it was truly heartwarming.
I can absolutely guarentee that the next one will have well over 120. This man has really tapped into something perhaps in a similar vein to dell and his FNRttC. So there you go, plan a route, send an e mail and you could make something magical happen!
